"SHERIDAN's RIDE"

Sheridan had left Washington on
the morning of Oct. l8, 1864, by
train, and passed the night at Win
chester, twenty miles north of the
battle field. On the morning of the
10th he heard the firing of cannon,
and sent out to inquire the cause, but
was told it came from reconnois-
sance. At nine o'clock he rode leis-
nrely out Of Winchester, not dream
ing that his army was in danger.
After a little he heard again the
sound of heavy guns, and now he
knew what it must mean. Not half
a mile from Winchester he came upon
the appalling marks of defeat and
rout. The runaways from battle,
still in flight, had got SO far as this
in their terror. The trains Of wagons
were rushing by, horses and drivers
all in confusion, for there is no worse
turmoil in the world than the flight
and wreck of a beaten army. Sheri-
dan had never seen his own men in
this condition before.
lie at once ordered the trains to be
halted and sent for brigade of
troops from Winchester; these he
posted across the road to prevent fur
ther struggling. Then he called for
an escort of twenty men, and, direct
ing his staff to stem the torrent as
we'll us they could, he set off himself
for the battle field. He rode straight
into the throng of fugitivcs. in a
splendid passion ofwrath and deter
! mination, squirting his horse and
swinging his hat as he passed and
calling to his men: Face the other
way, boys! Face the other way!"
Hundreds turned at the appeal and
followed him with cheers, for they all
knew Sheridan.
1t was ten o'clock before lie reach
ed the field There he rode about
hurriedly, glanced at the position and
at once determined upon his course.
He re-arranged the line of those who
were still unbeat Ell, and then went
back to bring up the panic-stricken
remainder. And now his presence
and personal influence told. He was
in the full uniform of a major-general
mounted on a magnificent black
horse, man and beast covered with
dust and flecked with foam; he rose
again in his stirrups, he drew his
sword, he waved his hat and shouted
to his soldiers: "1f had been here
this never would have happened.
Face the other way, boys! We are
going back!"
The flying soldiers were struck
with shame when they heard him
shout and saw his face blazing with
rage and courage and eagerness for
them. They took his cry themselves,
"Face the other way!" It went on
from one to another for miles-from
crowd to crowd-and they obeyed
the command. AS the swelling shout
went on the surging crowd returned.
They faced the other way, and, along
the very road which a covering mob
had taken three hours before, the
same men marched with the tread of
soldiers to meet the enemy. They
knew now that they were led to VIC
tory.-From "Sheridan in the VAL
ley" by Gen. Adam Badcau in st.

SHERIDAN,S RIDE.


B. F. Congdon, Of Bigelow, in
forms us that he was at Winchester
when the famous battle of Cedar
Greek occurred and Sheridan made
his immortal ride. Sheridan was at
the tent Of one Of his Colonels, when
the roar and grind" was heard and
ordered his orderly to saddle his
horse. He was in the saddle before
the orderly had it fastened. The COL
onel usked him if he could not wait
for breakfast. Sheridan replied that
'they were having breakfast enough
at the front" and sped away on his
ride, never dreaming of the fame
which it would give him.
And in fact it would have remain
ed comparatively unnoticed if the
Cincinnati artist and poet, Thomas
Buchanan Read, had not taken it up.
The history of the poem is as follows:
There was reading announced in
Cincinnati for the benefit of the Wo-
mans Commission and Murdock
was to read. He was passing along
the street on the day Of the enter.
tainment in company with his friend
Read. They stopped before a win
dow to look at picture in Harper's
Weekly showing Sheridan's ride.
Murdock suggested that there was a
subject and that if Read would write
4 poem he would read it that night
Read took fire at the suggestion and
had the poem finished before night
and Murtlock read it, creating great
enthusiasm.
The above is one of the best illus.
trations we know of showing how
history is made and how immortal
poems are struck off:

GEN. JOHN A. LOGAN.
In patriotic reverence these lines are
dedicated to the Grand Army of the
Republic: ~ s..
The nations enshrouded in mourning to-day.
Our chteftan has gone to his rest,
Our Tyres are attuned to funerallay.
In accord with the grief Of the west.
The hero, the patriot, the statesman lies low,
The work Of a lifetime is done,
In submission we yield to the terrible blow,
That has stricken our favorite son
Though tears are fast falling, and sorrow sincere
We see far above us his crown;
We know that he lives in 4 heavenly sphere.
He has gone to enduring renOwl.
Our sons will remember forever the day,
That treason was rife III the land;
Brave Logan was ready and first in the fray,
To paralyze slavery's hand.
On history's pages his name will endure,
AS soldier, as statesman. and friend,
His purse ever open to calls from the poor,
He Was loved and esteemed to the end.
May God guide the widow. the pride of his life,
She's the idol In palace and cot:
AS guardian. as mother, rs friend or as wife,
Mary Logan will neer be forgot.

THE BOAT SERVICE. 4
eDr. B. d. Churchill, Il former Mobiles
county man and having many old
friends to meet here. brought his little
steamer "AlpiIa" up from Spirit Lake
on u flat car, put it on rollers and
launched it into west Okabena lake.
1t was lucky thing for the town and
the encampment. for the ill-fated cat
amaran was not eeryiceable and our
beautiful lake would have been with
out adequate boat service but for the
timely arrival of DR.. Churchill and his
"Alpha."
The DR.. informs US that he is willing
to leave the little beauty of a steamer
here as long as it will pay. We hope,
now that it is in the lake, that a com.
pany will be formed to buy it and keep
it here.
Since the above was typed, the boiler
was raised yesterday afternoon and
several trips made.
Geo. Wright brought twelve row
boats from Spirit Lake and Tuesday
morning launched them near the camp.

Raw Whisky in High Places.

At the annual meeting OF the Church
of Ireland Protes tant Temperance So
ciety in Dublin. Rev. Lewen b. We'll
don, M. A, spoke on temperance and
society. After abiding TO the habit
of using strong drink on every con-
ceivable social occasion, he said, with
all due Difference to her majesty the
q ueen, he wished she would find out
a more suitable way of honoring the
memory of the late prince consort
than that of sending her sons and
sons-in- law to the top of a Highla nd
mountain in order to drink raw whis ky.
An annual Highland gathering used
to be held at Braemar, but this year
il was held at Balmoral. 1t was his
lot to be present at the festival this
year. which was held in the very
presence of her majesty, and a more
disgusting scene of revolving drunk
enness he never saw in his life. Donny-
brook in its worst traditions could
not equal the disgusting scenes he
there saw with his own eyes.

Then, how can that be real hand
paintingp Surely it must cost more
than 81 to decorate a set like that. The
figures are exquisite.
Both dinner sets were of Limoges
ware. They were displayed in Broad
way crockery house. Tho decorated
set had delicate figures traced on each
of the hundred or more pieces.
II assure you, madam. that it is
genuine hand painting" he replied.
"The slight difference in price does
not arise from the cheapness of he
painting. It comes from the hghne IS
OF the tariff. "
We'll, thought so," said the lady.
